Class EncodedPublicKey

java.lang.Object
  net.ripe.rpki.commons.crypto.util.EncodedPublicKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Key, PublicKey

public class EncodedPublicKey
extends Object
implements PublicKey

While software keys can be persisted nCipher keys cannot. For KeyPairEntity we put them into a keystore but that did not fit into the architecture for ResourceCertificateRequestData. ResourceCertificateRequestData contains the encoded representation of the subject public key and when it fed into the ResourceCertificateBuilder (which send it further to X509CertificateBuilder) it is wrapped into this class. As long as only the encoded representation of the key is used this is sufficient.
